After opening a new Amex Business Cash credit card recently, I noticed American Express took the credit from one of my other cards for the new card’s credit limit. While you can always request a credit increase, maybe you are like me and don’t need more credit.
Luckily, you can easily reallocate credit lines between your Amex cards. Here is how to do it online or by phone.
There are so many different kinds of credit cards available right now it’s nuts. There are credit cards for people with bad credit. There are credit cards that offer a percentage cash back for each dollar you charge to them. Other cards that lets you rack up airline miles towards free travel.

When you have limited or no credit available, it can seem almost impossible to get a credit card or a loan.

JPMorgan Chase is the second largest card issuer of credit cards in the U.S. with over 80 million cardholders and $131 billion in outstanding credit card loans. In recent years, the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Reserved cards have been extremely popular with bonus points chasers and many card-enthusiasts thanks to 2x and 3x points on travel and dining and no foreign transaction fees. Those cards however have an annual fee, which in the case of the Chase Sapphire Reserved is a hefty $450.
If you have a Chase credit card and want to lighten the load on your wallet, both literally and figuratively with the Sapphire cards, follow these instructions on how to cancel your card online, by phone, or mail.
Capital One is the third largest credit card issuer in the United States so when their commercials ask “What’s In Your Wallet”, if you don’t have a Chase or Citi credit card, you probably have a Capital One.
I have their Quicksilver rewards card, which was a decent 1.5% cashback card at the time until it was surpassed by Citi’s Double Cash card. What makes Capital One’s cards still worth keeping even now though is their no foreign transaction fees if you travel internationally. But what if you have better rewards cards you’d rather carry in your wallet and you want to cancel your Capital One credit card.
Are you thinking of closing a Citi credit card? Maybe you’ve taken advantage of some of the lucrative American Airline bonus miles that Citi was offering with the Aavantage Executive card and now you are facing a big annual fee for the next year. Or maybe you have too many cards in your wallet that your back is starting to hurt and you want to lighten the load.
Whatever your reason is for deciding to cancel your card, it does not have to be a hassle.
While American Express credit and charge cards come with a lot of impressive member benefits, sometimes cardholders decide to cancel their cards. It may be because they no longer use the card regularly or they do not want to continue paying the annual fee, which on American Express cards are higher than many other issuers.
If you wish to cancel your Amex card, follow these easy steps on how to cancel your card.
